I'm not able to upgrade from centos 8.3, seems like the issue is with the centos-release package which was renamed to centos-linux-release in 8.3. it doesn't get removed anymore and then fails to install redhat-release because of yum transaction errors.
convert2rhel completes anyways but system can't boot. trying to create grub.cfg manually shows the problem:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg
sed: can't read /etc/system-release: No such file or directory

Am I doing something wrong or is 8.3 just not possible yet?
Thanks!

Hi @T5wxnxWgbJF6, thanks for reaching out. We've learned about it couple of days ago. There's a fix for that already: #140.
You can update the config file manually before running the convert2rhel based on the fix (located at /usr/share/convert2rhel/configs/centos-8-x86_64.cfg), or wait for a new convert2rhel version 0.15 we'll be releasing soon.
